So much for the NRA’s position that “the only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

So much for the NRA’s position that “the only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”Just in the last couple of months we have seen men with guns (all officials of the law who were armed and highly trained) getting shot. Doesn’t the NRA realize the shooter will pick the time and place to do the shooting, and only he knows when it will happen? A good guy can have five guns on him and still get shot. Only a fool will think putting armed security in schools will solve the problem.The armed security will only be the first one shot, and he will not know it’s going to happen. And, do we raise taxes to pay for the thousands of armed security guards in the thousands of schools? No, it’s time for serious gun control in this country. Even the military practices gun control.
